Snapshot 23614 - Core running well--core has integrated Intel GPU. I successfully netbooted a laptop that did not have an nVidia GPU. I built my MD with an Intel core 2 duo, 4 GB ram, nVidia Geforce 9400GT. It boots until it tries to install the nVidia driver then it says that it has missing dependencies for 195 and reboots. It reboots and starts the process all over. The screen goes by quicker than I can see what it is really saying. I dropped a 20 GB HD in the MD and installed Kubuntu 8.10 and I can successfully install the 195 drivers. This also lets me know the the computer functions correctly. All I have found in the forum so far refers to this -- http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/changeset/23588. I checked and my install script seems to be okay. This MD is the only computer I have with an nVidia GPU.Any thoughts?Thanks,M.

Update...unmet dependencies for nvidia-glx. According to what is echoed on the screen during the install, the current driver is nothing, the preferred driver is 195.36.15, and it does an apt-get install but it ends up missing the nvidia kernel source, libvdpau, and nvidia settings and Python-software-properties is missing a dependency as well but I didn't get what it was. All these are on the core it just doesn't use them since it has Intel graphics. I can edit the /usr/pluto/diskless/83/usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh script to read the following:

# Install the driver if needed if [[ "$current_driver" != "$preferred_driver" ]]; then echo "installing NEW driver $preferred_driver!" Log "$LogFile" "installing NEW driver $preferred_driver!" INSTALLED="0" (changed to "0" from "1") # apt-get install -y $preferred_driver (commented out this line so it wouldn't try to install) else

By changing the INSTALLED to "0", it didn't go into the reboot and since it didn't try to install the drivers, it didn't need to. At least this way, I have the media director up and running but it's not the right way.Is this a repository issue? Is there a better way for me to resolve this?

Update--again. :-)I found revision 23635 for the nvidia-install.sh on the svn (thanks merkur2k). I grabbed it and put it in the appropriate place. It did two things, it allowed the MD to complete installation even though it couldn't install the nvidia drivers. It also created the file nvidia-install.log. Here is the output of that log.

apt-get -f install doesn't seem to do anything. I don't know how to do it on the MD because I can't get to the KDE desktop from there. I can only get to the desktop on the core and it doesn't do anything there.

That seemed to do the trick. After this, I had it re-run the AV Wizard. Once I did that, it rechecked for the nVidia driver and installed it correctly this time. I guess it was the iso-codes that was the broken dependency.
